Still no '11 or '12 versions of iWorks? I have license to '08 version and the minor changes in '09 were not worth upgrading.; -(
Wow, windows user using Safari? Really?

Until recently doing an iTunes update would install Safari as well, so a heck of a lot of Windows users would have Safari installed.
I'm not sure how many would actually be using it though. Probably not many.
Maybe the read it later and bookmark sync between iOS and Safari will push those numbers up though.

It would auto-check a box but the user still had the option to not install Safari.

Indeed. The iTunes updater invariably maintained the illusion of choice.
As far as I know it never hijacked the default browser settings though, so the impact outside of adding some extra bloat to the iTunes update was minimal.
